| | | |  I shouldn't have called this..
But you can't argue with pulling a triple takeout!
I had the feeling those two were holding high cards, not big pairs, so I was willing to gamble with 2. A caller behind me made me nervous, though...

As a general rule, I think it should be stated that individual hand histories - especially those from freerolls...shouldn't be posted asking for advice. No offense, chickenman, but the fact poker isn't just about the cards, its about getting a read on the players and the type of game they play. As a general rule of thumb most freeroll players are overly reckless, and so I can't really say you should or shouldn't have made that play. Obviously, you thought your pocket pair was strong enough to hold up against 2 other players (and in fact survived against 3 players) - nice job on winning the chips  . | | |

I love the game of poker, I love the challenge, I don't love my bankroll (Which ususally floats only somewhat above zero). Sorry if the thread was a waste of time to anyone here... | | |

Wasnt a waste of time by any means.Its a poker site and thats a poker hand..The owner put one out himself the other day.Its a forum to help players become better players.  ..as well as brag or bitch....I tend to the second one alot myself lately 
You made a move to get the shortstack all in by yourself and you had a big enough stack you werent going to be put out ,but they were.Aggressive move that worked out very nicely.Good or bad? I cant say,but I can say I wouldve made the same in that spot.Very nice triple shot and congrats .

Well done on winning the pot with 1010. Never happens for me but congrats all the same 
I never play freerolls, as they tend to give out too little prize money for the time you have to invest in them. | | |

I understand what you are saying to a point.But I think you may have misread what he was saying(or I did).He wasnt sure if the move was right,but he was more or less wanting to show the end result ,not asking for advice but at the same time leaving it open for opinions..As far as it being a freeroll,that shouldnt really matter ,he is still playing to win real money.
Every level of mtts tend to be different.1,3,5,10.......freerolls are just the first stepping stone

If this had been merely a PP holding up to two overcards, I'd have been ho hum, so what else is new? But knocking three folks out (After about 45 minutes of play) on a single hand was exciting, at least to me. | | |

I'm not sure that it was a great play. Obviously I don't know what the players were like, however in a free roll people will call you with A2 and hope "but my ace is good isnt it?"
With as many players in the pot as there were going to be you're very likely to have pocket 10's beaten. However congratulations on wiping them out! | | |

I'm okay with it because it was a raise to isolate. If the other preflop caller looks you up, only 1/3 of your stack is at risk, and you still have plenty of time.
Once you decide to play this, moving all in is probably the best option to avoid being outplayed postflop. But outside of a freeroll I would only make that move if I was getting short on chips.

I dont see a problem with posting Hand Histories. Actually, its posted in the thread named "Hand Histories". Thats why we are here. If we cant give logical advice based on player tendancies then we can ask the original poster for more information.
As for the hand Chickenman theres nothing wrong with trying to double or triple early in a freeroll. In fact its probably the advised play. But beware that other players will be trying to do the same. The more people in the pot the better the odds each opponent is getting to enter. 10's is probably not the hand to do this but i see you were only trying to isolate the original raiser. A funny thing happened to me a few weeks ago. I had 10's or jacks, I cant recall exactly, and was the shortstack so i pushed All-in in an attempt to steal some blinds. I was called by 3 callers, in which they all held A-K. They had 2 outs between the 3 of them. And don't you know the case Ace hit the flop. LOL. If you knew your opponents had AK, AK, and AJ. they had 6 outs between the 3 of them. Then you made the right decision. | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
